VJOKE

A Man goes to his first Counselling Session with the Psychologist and says, “Doctor, I badly need your help as my life is in tatters, my wife is been unfaithful to me and I am shattered that this is happening”. Every evening, she goes to Larry’s Bar and picks up men. In fact, she sleeps with anybody who asks her! I’m going completely crazy with this happening all the time. What do you think I should do?” “Firstly you need to relax,” says the Doctor, “Now take a deep breath and calm down. OK so you have calmed down now and are feeling a little more relaxed, yes that’s good”. Now this is very important question: Tell me exactly where is Larry’s bar?”

This week’s $100 FREE VBET goes to Tammy T. Thanks for opening an  account earlier this year Tammy…..Good Luck with your free $100 VBET….

VH2H – Head to Head Betting

VICBET H2H Betting is unique to us and is available every race day and night in two groups of three. It is the three Favourites (1st, 2nd and 3rd) combined in one H2H outcome and the second H2H is the 4th, 5th and 6th Favourites combined, excluding the Fav if it is Odds-on (under $2). This is a moving dynamic market so as the odds change for the actual race the odds will change for the H2H outcome. Also, you can pick your own H2H outcome, then simply go to our Live Chat or WhatsApp Tim Cleary (0433-339347) and he will price it up for you….

VFACTS

The Doomben Cup was first held in 1933 and the race was won by Pentheus. The race attracted an increasing number of classy gallopers over the years, which resulted in the race being promoted to Group 1 in 1980. Among the outstanding stayers to win the Doomben Cup in its early years include Bernborough in 1946, Earlwood in 1959-60, Lord Ben in 1974, and Marceau in 1978. Triple champion Rough Habit also won three in 1991 to 1993. Other notable winners include Durbridge (1994), Danewin (1995), Juggler (1996), Might And Power (1998), Defier (2004) and Scenic Shot (2008 & 2008). Only two horses have won the Doomben Cup – Brisbane Cup double, namely Lord Hybrow (1988) and Scenic Shot (2009). Two jockeys have won the race three times namely Maurice McCarten (1933, 1934, 1940) and also as a trainer in 1952 and Jim Cassidy (1991–1993) on Rough Habit. Two trainers have won the race three times, T J Smith (1973, 1976, 1978) and John Wheeler (1991–1993) with Rough Habit. Over the past two decades since 2000 only three favourites have won the Doomben Cup so keep that in mind when working out the winner….The 1992 Doomben Cup won by Rough Habit is an awesome finish – CLICK HERE to watch…..

VREFER

With an emphasis on Horse Racing solely we are the Old Fashioned type of Bookmakers (four generations going back to 1941) concentrating purely on Horse Racing, no Sports, Harness or Greyhounds . My Late Father Allen Cleary was a Bookmaker from 1956 – 2006, his Uncle Bob was a Bookmaker from 1941 – 1961. Today it is myself Rod and my Son Tim sharing the reins. We are NOT Corporates, we work occasionally On Course at the Melbourne Metro Meetings on the Rails, however the vast majority of our turnover is Online. Once again your referrals are always very much appreciated and one of the main sources of us sourcing new Clients so thanks very much in advance…..
